Todays find!

[Jay R.]

Guys, I found this boat today in a storage lot, guy is clearing it out and is giving all the boats away. this one has been sitting awhile but seems solid. looks like a check maybe. about 16-17 feet. and the bush in the pic is inside the hull. not through it. also check out this johnson they have, anyone know what it is?

[Jay R.]

And here are the pic's no hull numbers, either glassed over or pre hull numbers being standard.

[SCT]

Not a check, Jay.

jay that looks like a savage to me. almost positive

[Jay R.]

what do you think it is? I was thinking a sidewinder sort of thing till i saw it from the other side and it had a look that reminded me of those old checks. Not sure what it is.

[Jay R.]

Savage? Never heard of it. Seems like a solid hull

[scc82]

they are ok. good ski boat not a racer. ive got two here in my yard. i will give them away too.

....................also check out this johnson they have, anyone know what it is?

Early 60's in 90 to 100 hp range with electric shift lower. Not worth foolin' with unless in running condition, and not too much worth foolin' with even then. Don't get excited about the shape of the gearcase. All the old OMC's looked like that. Merc bragged about the design of theirs where the front of the torpedo didn't stick out past the rest of it, therefore makin' it harder to get hung on underwater stuff, but OMC stayed with the racy lookin' shape for a long time after.

[Jay R.]

So neither worth messing with?

[Jay R.]

Stan, any pic's of yours?

[Mark75H]

OMC stayed with that look until Charlie Strang took over their engineering department and brought out the 3 cylinder looper ... OMC's first "modern" outboard

[scc82]

i would have to dig through years of crap to get pics. trust me you dont want them.

[Jay R.]

No, I was just curious what it would look like together

[Jay R.]

guess i didn't find something cool after all

[baja200merk]

whats with the cmc plate in the background of the middle pic? might be worth something

[Jay R.]

its a CMC trim unit, not a jackplate. might be worth something, but he isn't giving up the motors till he can go through them. right now just the boats. needs to consolidate from 2 yards to one.

Looks like a '68 to me:

[Jay R.]

No One knows for sure what it is?

[Jay R.]

how bout those up sloped sections on the deck above the transom, not familiar to anyone?
I looked up savage and never found anything like this thing. found some similar old baja's but not quite the same. found a charger with similar lines. Any Idea's?
